2 Sam. 4:8 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
2 Sam. 4:7      2 Sam. 4:9

Second Samuel 4:8

And they brought Ish-Bosheth's head to David in Hebron and said to the king, "Behold, the head of Ish-Bosheth, Saul's son, your enemy who sought your life, and the Lord (Yahweh) has avenged my lord the king on Saul this day and on his seed (descendants)."
[The last time anyone brought a head before the king was when David brought Goliath's head before Saul, see 1 Sam. 17:57. David was rewarded with a position with the king and in the royal family, and was also exempted from taxes, see 1 Sam. 17:25. Rechab and Baanah probably expected a similar reward.]
